JOHN SYVRET, OF SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.

COMBINATION-MACHIN E.

Application filed September 3, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN SYvnn'r, a citi zen of the Commonwealth of Australia, and a resident of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, have invented a new and Im proved Combination-Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to combination machines and has for an object to provide an nnproved construction which may be adjusted or set so as to be used as a vise or as a turning machine.

Another object in view is to provide a machine provided with a tool receiving shaft and means for driving the same which may be adjusted so as to be operated by hand power or by mechanical power.

A still further object in view is to provide an improved construction which may be used for grinding or for driving'a drill, the parts being adjustable so as to rotate the grinding tional view through Fig. l on line 4 -4 Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view through thetool splndle.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates a base which is pro vided with supporting legs 2 and which also is provided with a plurality of journal members 3, i and 5. A rod or spindle 6 extends through the legs 2 and projects therebeyond for an appreciable distance from one end so as to receive the bracket 7 which is clamped in position thereon by-a bolt 8 acting on clamping jaws 9. Bracket 7 carries a face plate 10 of any desired construction whlch is designed to receive any article to be drilled or otherwise operated upon by a tool when supported in the driving spindle 11.

. As shown in Fig. 5, the driving spindle 11 is provided with a socket 12 for receiving a Specification of Letters Patent.

tool, a threaded portion 13 for receiving a clamping nut 14 and a: solid sleeve or abut- 'ment 15'against which the grinding member 16 is pressed when nut 14 is tightened. When a tool, as for instance, a drill, is arranged in socket 12 the grinding member 16 is removed. A slot 17 is provided back of the abutment 15 for inserting a wedge or gripping instrument, whereby the drill or other instrument in socket 12 may be easily removed. The end of the spindle 11 opposite that in which the socket 12 is formed is provided with threads 18 and a socket 19. A. union 20 engages threads 13 and is formed with a turned over annular portion 21 overlapping a head The head 22 is provided with a socket 24L opposite socket 19 whereby a ball 25 may be utilized as a thrust bearing between spindle 11 and the adjusting spindle 23. In order that the adjusting spindle 23 may be fed forwardly without rotating, a slot 26 is provided therein into which a spline 27 arranged on the bracket 28 project The spindle 23 is provided with threads 29, preferably with what is ordinarily known as square threads, said threads being engaged by the threaded sleeve 30, which sleeve is preferably cast integral with the beveled gear 31. By this means the feed spindle 23 will be moved longitudinally. The sleeve 30 of beveled gear 31 is ournaled in the journal member 5 so as to freely rotate therein, while the beveled gear 31 is continually meshing with beveled gear 32 which is supported on a shaft 33 (Fig. a), which shaft in turn is mounted in bracket 35 clamped to the base by suitable bolts 36. Shaft 33 is provided with'a groove 37 and set screw 38 whereby the shaft, which is rigidly secured to gear wheel 32, may freely rotate without moving out of the bracket 35. In forming the beveled gear 32 the same is cast integral with the ratchet wheel 39 and also with a boss 40. The boss 4L0 is designed to receive a plate il which is provided with arms 42 and a3 preferably set at an appreciable angle from each other, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The arm 42 is provided with a slot 4 (Fig. 2) through which the bolt 15 projects, the head of bolt i5 being andr32 will. be rotated for moving the feed spindle 23 forwardly.

In order to transmit motion from the arm 42 to the ratchet wheel 39 a wedge-shaped bolt 53 (Fig- 2) is slidingly mounted in the arm 13 and continually'pressed by spring 54. The reduced extension 55 of the bolt 53 has a thumb operated member 56 connected therewith so that the bolt may be manually withdrawn or moved out of engagement against the action of spring 5 1. When the bolt has operated the ratchet wheel 39, pin 57 extending through the reduced portion 55 is positioned in a slot 58, whereby the same may freely move up and down in order to allow the arm to pass from ratchet wheel 39.

When it is desired to connect the bolt and ratchet wheel, member 56 is grasped and pulled outwardly until pin 59 is upon the upper end of arm 43. The thumb member, together with pin 47 and associated parts, is turned until pin a7 comes opposite the notches 59, whereupon it is released and allowed to rest in said notches. When it is desired to manually feed the feed spindle 23, wheel 60 is rotated, said wheel being rigidly connected with sleeve 30 of the beveled gear 31. In addition to operating the feed spindle 23 the beveled gears 30 and 32 will be operated, together with ratchet wheel 39 and boss 40, but as these are not connected with any of the other parts of the machine nothing will result from such movement. It is to be noted that the boss 40 acts as a bearing for the plate f1 on which the arms 4.2 and 4E3 are mounted.

Arranged between the yournal members 3 and 4 are beveled gears 62, 63 and 6 1-. bevel gears 62 and 64lbeing adapted to mesh with I the large bevel gear 52 under certain conditions, while bevel gear 63 is designed tomesh with the auxiliary bevel gear 65 under certain conditions. A sleeve 66 splined to the spindle 11 is rigidly connected with the gears 63 and 641- and if desired may be cast integral therewith so that these gears may be operated by a single yoke 67. The arms of yoke 67 extend between the stops 68, while the supporting shaft or rod 69 rigidly connected with yoke 67 is clamped in any desired position by a set screw 70. The shaft 69 slidingly fits in the journal bearing memher 4: and is adapted to be operated manually so as to cause either gear wheel 63 or gear wheel 64k to be held in proper operative position. The gear wheels 63 and 64 are spaced a sufficient distance apart so that when they are in the position shown in Fig. 2 neither gear wheel will be meshing with its coacting gear wheels. If the yoke 67 is moved to the right of Fig. 2, gear wheel 63 will be moved into mesh with the auxiliary gear wheel 65, while if yoke 67 is moved to the left of Fig. 2, gear wheel 6% is brought into mesh with the large gear wheel The gear wheel Get acts as a reversing gear and causes a reverse at high speed, while gear wheel 63 operates or rotates the spindle 11 in an opposite direction to gear. wheel 64. Gear wheel 63 operates the spindle 11 in the same direction as gear wheel 62 but at lower speed. This is desirable, as a drill and also other tools operate in one direction while an abrading member, as for instance theemery wheel 16, usually operates in an opposite direction and at high speed so that thereverse gear 6% may operate the emery wheel 16 in one direction when the same is used, and

gear wheels 62 and 63 will operate the spindle 11 and the tools connected therewith in the opposite direction. The gear wheel 62 is provided with a hub or boss formed with the rings71 in the same manner as the ring 68, the same being engagedby the arms or yoke 7 2 which is rigidly connected with shaft 73'held in place by a set screw 7 1. The yoke Y2 is adapted to be manually moved back and forth for throwingthe gear wheel 62 into and out of mesh while the set screw 7% looks yoke 72 in any of its adjusted positions.

Associated with spindle 11 and various mechanism operating in conjunction therewith is .a vise 7 5 which is provided with a stationary jaw 76 bolted to the base 1, and a movable jaw -77 provided with an end 78 and body 79 which is substantially U-shaped in cross section, the same resting on base 1 and inclosing a driving shaft 80 and associated parts. Shaft 80 is provided with a flange 81 near the outer end and anapertured end member 82 through which the rod S3'is passed when the device is being operated manually. When it is desired to use power for rotating shaft 80. the power wheel 84 is mounted on member 82 and held in place by a key 85 and also by a suitable set screw 86. Shaft 80 is provided with threads 87 at one end which fit into an internally threaded sleeve 88, which sleeve is rigidly secured to the hub or boss 51: of gear wheel 52 and forms in effect an extension of said hub or boss. Sleeve 88 is supported by a bearing member 89 held in place by screws 90 and 91, screw 91 having an aperture 92 acting as a guide for the rod 93 hereinafter fully described. The bearing member 89 carries a set screw 94: which extends into a groove 95 arranged in sleeve 88, whereby sleeve 88 may rotate but may not move longitudinally.

The bearing member 89 is provided with a clutch face 96 adapted to be engaged by the clutch face 97 of a sliding and rotatable sleeve 98, which sleeve is provided with a groove 99 into which a yoke 100 extends, said yoke being connected to rod 93 by a suitable pin 101. It will be noted that yoke 100 must pass through base 1 and in order to allowa proper movement a slot 102 is provided in base 1, allowing a back and forth movement of the yoke. 0n the end of sleeve 98 opposite the face 97 a second clutch face 103 is provided which is adapted to interlock with clutch face'lO-i formed on the sleeve 105,

which sleeve is rigidly secured to shaft 80 by set screws 106 or key 106. The sleeve 105 bears against a washer 107 which in turn bears against a spring plate 108 having a turned down flange 109 for pressing against the end 78 of the jaw 77, and also a pressed-out spring member 110 continually pressing against lug 111. The plate 108 is intended to take up slight lost motion between the parts and also act as the usual spring for releasing the jaws 7 6 and 77.

The rod 93 is provided at the forward end with a hand operated member 112 and a flange 113 which is adapted to be engaged by a yoke member 11 1, which yoke member is provided with a slot 115 through which the retaining bolt 116 passes. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 3 the yoke 11% holds the sleeve 98 in engagement with the sleeve 105 so that the rotation of shaft 80 will rotate gear wheel 52 and parts connected therewith. If it is desired to operate the vise 75 without operating the other part of the machine,yoke 11 1 is raised and shaft or rod 93 is moved longitudinally until the sleeve 98 isin engagement with the clutch 96, whereupon the yoke 114: is allowed to move down in front of the flange 113, whereby the same is locked against fur-' When the sleeve 98 is in ther movement. engagement with clutch 96 and shaft 80 is rotated, the body 7 9 and jaw 77 of clutch 75 will move toward or from the jaw 76 according to the direction of rotation of shaft 80. This is produced by the sleeve 98 being provided with splines or keys 117 which will cause the sleeve 98 to always rotate with the internally threaded sleeve 88 or remain stationary with said sleeve. When sleeve 88 is held stationary by the clutch or clutch faces 96 and 97 the only other alternative is for 1 the jaw 7 7 to move when shaft 80 is rotated.

It will thus be seen that by the construction and arrangement provided a single driving shaft, namely, shaft 80 will propby clamping bearings 121 and 122, the shaft 120 may be rotated to any desired erly operate thejaws of vise 75 or will operate the tool spindle 11 and the various tools which may be connected therewith. In connection with the tools of tool spindle 11 it will be noted that a tool rest 118 is provided (Fig. 1) which is mounted upon a suitable bracket 119 connected to a shaft 120 Or any suitable means. Shaft 120 is held in place whereby extent or moved back and forth. This is also true of the rod or spindle 6 which e tends through or rather between the legs 2 and is supported and rigidly held in position by the depending clamping members 123 and 124.
